Thanks so much for stopping by and for your encouragement. Boy is it nice. Aloha to you Mooney, and thanks. When I saw that picture of your kids, I thought if I had a couple of cutie pies like them I'd watch SpongeBob too! Hey Craig/TF1...how's that TikiMan Basement coming. Thanks for stopping in...rolling is sure better than crash and burn! Benz...always a privilege to have you stop by and thanks for the 'excellent' quite something coming from the master. I just might show up one day...you never know. I would love to see you in action. Hi JP, thanks for having a look. I guess it's all those years throwing pots that help with the steady hands! Benjamin, thanks mon ami, so glad you like it. I have been working some on the Tiny Tiki face, minutely like Benz said. I took some pictures, but they don't really show to much difference without the 5X,some small improvements though. Currently am spending time looking at it and thinking. While thinking, I worked on another blade. Mere blade. Apparently, Mere and Patu are pretty much the same. Mere is when it's made from Pounamu, and Patu for wood/whalebone. I read that this beehive design was pretty standard for Mere This is Wyoming jade. I liked that amber colored streak where it got near the rind. It was fun to do this while I contemplated the Tiny Tiki. Still need to make the toggle. More blades drawn out, and am heading to the shop to rough them out. Thanks again for all your comments, and for taking a peek. Best R. [ Edited by: Robin 2008-02-08 09:50 ]
